One of my thoughts is with regard to the fact that he doesn't get on with other degus. I guess it's only the pet store that is saying that and I can't imagine they have tried a proper bonding routine with him to get him settled into a group of males. If they took the time and did it properly he would quite possibly settle. If you are still undecided about taking him, then why not put an adoption post on here in case someone locally is looking for a male but hasn't been following this post.

I know that he was with his brother but he bullied him so they seperated them. I trust the store manager as I work for Pets at Home so they know I have degus and won't do one over me.
I think I will take him in a couple of weeks if he is still there ;D

Awwww!! Yay! That will be a very happy day for him and for you! I can't wait to hear how it all goes. Of course, we want pictures! Are you planning to have him neutered?

IF my stepdad agrees then yep, I have worked out that he is around 10 months old now so I'd have a couple of months with him to get a relationship going/handle him and then him neutured and try him with the girls.
Obviously I'll let you know what my stepdad says tomorrow, but as my mum has agreed I can't really see not winning this one!

Hugo is his name in store, I will probably change it but once I know his personality!
I am so excited ;D

Well, the spare cage is all set up & I think it is a pretty good bachelor pad!
I just can't sleep from being so excited, how I'm going to get through a full day at work tomorrow I have no idea. My colleagues think I'm going to become a mad degu lady with a house full of goos!
